Quote for today-
"All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography." Frederico Fellini
This is true. Whatever you do, it is about yourself.
Whenever you include a mirror in your interior view, you put yourself in a context.
The following drawing was done aged 22. I was in my first year of teaching and I was sharing a house with two hard drinking Welsh guys. Note how the mantlepiece is adorned with part empty milk bottles in various states of decomposition.
I then leap to age 43 and a fairly difficult period.
I was just discovering acrylics at that time.
Then one I did age 50, to celebrate attaining this great age.
Other self studies have concentrated on the face and have ignored the room.
